CJ7Coy are you a Jeeper??? I have no problem committing to the vites that go along with DS. I've had a phone consult with Dr. Greenbaum in NJ. I also have a consult with a local surgeon here in Baltimore on 9/21 to see if I have any options other than DS and RNY. Mini gastric bypass is a possibility. I would keep my sleeve and then have the intestinal bypass portion. Once I hear what the local doc says I'll decide if I want to move forward with DS in NJ with Dr. Greenbaum. That will involve me enrolling in my corporate health insurance that wouldn't be effective until January, but I can do presurgery testing on my current insurance prior to then. I've had open abdominal surgery last year to remove my spleen after a motorcycle accident. That was pretty easy. My broken back, not so much! LOL My current BMI is 38.
I would not except a mini bypass, a distal, or a regular one. I wouldn't except one knowing I have a more likely than not chance to need a revision within 7 years
